INKCARCERATION Music and Tattoo Festival‘s incredibly unique festival setting – the historic Ohio State Reformatory – is considered one of the most haunted buildings in the country and the setting of the 1994 cinematic classic/IMDB’s highest rated movie of all time, The Shawshank Redemption (celebrating its 25th anniversary his year). The Ohio State Reformatory is centrally located about an hour away from Cleveland, Columbus, and Canton/Akron, Ohio and within a three-hour driving distance of Toledo, Dayton, Cincinnati, Youngstown, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, northern West Virginia, Michigan and southern Ontario. Additionally, INKCARCERATION features tent and RV camping for a true outdoor festival experience!
Escape from Blood Prison is the annual Halloween haunted house attraction hosted at the historic Ohio State Reformatory in Mansfield, OH. It typically runs from the end of September through early November every year, but INKCARCERATION will make this spooky attraction available for festival goers to experience all weekend long in 2019! Once Blood Prison takes over the reformatory, the enormous facility is filled with bloodthirsty inmates waiting for victims to enter and try and make it through the facility alive!

In April, INKCARCERATION Music and Tattoo Festival was awarded Mansfield, Ohio’s prestigious Tourism Award of Excellence, and has been recognized by the United States House of Representatives, Ohio Senate, State of Ohio Representatives and Congressional Proclamation.
“The job the crew at INKCARCERATION did coming out of the gate demanded to be recognized,” says Destination Mansfield President Lee Tasseff. “Our organization has worked with national events over the years, but nothing compared to the level of professionalism demonstrated in producing a head-turning concert event of the highest order on the iconic grounds of the Ohio State Reformatory…it was and is a perfect match. The community can’t wait to witness this year’s festival!”
Susan Fisher, Co-Producer, INKCARCERATION Music and Tattoo Festival, says, “We’re so honored to receive the Tourism Award of Excellence and be recognized by our Ohio State Representatives. We are grateful to our partners at Destination Mansfield who, along with Mansfield City officials, our local hotel partners and hundreds of Richland County volunteers, are gearing up to help us welcome our festival guests to a bigger and better INKCARCERATION 2019, from all around the world — as far as New Zealand.”
In its first year, INKCARCERATION brought enormous entertainment to over 18,000 fans, and this year, the festival aims even higher.
